It is deeper than stillness - that nourishes our village. We believe, when we can root our existence in the eternal , we can serve in the now, in the presence, with bright intentions and with the flow of our intuitive light.- Atonka

When the arms of the Canyon hold you - the unknown become known.-

Being a woman in this lifetime is both a privilege and a profound responsibility of a calling deeply felt. As we can hold the essence of the qualities of primal beingness, necessary for sustaining, liberating and blissful living.

Join us for the Heart of Devotion Retreat and Training , May 8-12,2025 . As we celebrate the sacred weaving of founder of Shaktischool and sacred spaceholder and owner of the Nama-Stay Retreat Village in Zion National Park.

Seven years ago, is when the first Shaktischool Training module landed in Zion - An experience and a power of sisterhood we will never forget.

Vision is what brought us together in 2016 and Vision is what brings us together again this year in May 2025.

I, ( Atonka ) remember the moment , when Pauline spoke of the Eka Mai mantra, I found myself in the greatest void - so alive, attentive to the unending pause. All the puzzles plugged in and seamlessness in the space was a pure sound permeated every fiber of my being into clear view of site experiencing a limitless creativity in purpose , circulation in body , humility and reverence to the power of Nature itself - the unstruck sound

It is so powerful when we can meet In-person

Let us know, if you feel called to join the retreat . Together we will deepen our roots for the branches reaching far, deep and wide.

We invite YOU!

To step away from your everyday activities to reflect, renew, amplify and celebrate the powerful being ~ that is YOU.

We humans are powerful electromagnetic beings.

When we fine tune our electromagnetic field with intention - We can amplify and direct our life energy in such a way that deeply fulfills our hearts and life path. When matched, we find a place, where our inner being vibrates pure lifeforce energy, perhaps even a sensation of blissful existence, that is coherence and completely pure, original and authentic to YOU.

This 4 day 3 night retreat will give you space, guidens and tools. That help you strengthen the Light of your Destiny Path. By knowing and activating deeply the three treasures of:

Self Realization

Self Healing

Self Empowerment

✨Join Atonka and Melanie MataJi. for an unforgettable retreat immersion in Zion National Park UT, November 7-10 - registration link opened today!!

We believe that we constantly communicate through chi.-

Sometime and most often we prefer to let the chi speak for itself.

People who communicate through chi, often step in and say:” Awww, this smells good or this feels so good, or they feel immediately serenity.”

Our human body is incredible

When we have a great vision - A vision where we keep the human and all nature in mind. We can navigate information in such way where life keeps filling you with contentment, containment and self mastery . Self mastery is when a human is aware of original rhythm . Recognizing they are being moved by the law and forces of nature itself. Recovering this original natural rhythm in the body, gifts you grit, grind and gratitude.

One of my teacher often mentioned: “ don’t easily surrender . “ as it is a fragile place between giving in, giving up and consciously co-creating and consciously co-participate in the growth of our soul - fostering harmonious co-existence with all parts.

Knowing our entirety deeply - is the beginning of living consciously. Having a vision - guides.

Our sensibility (human of god/nature) to be coupled with the Light of Tao consciousness to make good use of the precious life giving.-

Don’t waste chi - if it does not support life & living.- Atonka

December 13, 7-8:30pm marks our 55th Gathering Great Valley Yin

Journeying through the mountains, the last 3 weeks left me in a state of Samkhya ( “that which sums up “ ) and also divides the three crowns of heaven, earth & human.

Three treasures , three powers of the universe , three fundamental forces of Nature.

When the triune is harmonious, they make up a Divine Human - A human that lives in harmony with the laws of nature itself.

Allowing yourself to feel consciously the three forces, gifts you a sense to feel and connect to your own wisdom, to your creative potential, the capacity to let go, to empty and resurrect.

The triune of the three treasures also allows you to feel, if you are moving forward , or if you are running on the same place, or possibly even loose interest of your ways of genuine integrity.

When we sincerely connect to the three powers it gifts you a saintly light and strength of wisdom . A return to the mountain, through a humble bow and prayer to the infinite. - Atonka
